Within cold shadow of eternity 
my brain glows with dreams of warm energy 
that wakes my heart with the sharp ache of truth 
so I explore dream-invisible path 
back home to singing doors of Nevermore 
where I make books of long-forgotten lore. 

Wise serpent of Meroveus inspires 
my wretched soul to climb cathedral spires 
where I spread wings of Icarus and fly 
to Wonderland where I can play the spy 
who slips through singing doors of Nevermore 
with eager passion to complete my chore. 

Assertive wolf of Charlemagne attends 
my secret mission to explore strange lands 
where my father once chased the rainbow ghost 
who wants to crown me Son of Zeus the Host 
so I guard singing doors of Nevermore 
with royal robe of Ermine Louis wore. 

Brave lion of Richard strides at my side 
when I discover where wild fairies hide 
who shelter me in lush Broceliande 
when I hide from bloody assassin hand, 
safe behind singing doors of Nevermore 
where I gain Apollo as life mentor. 

Swift horse of Henry portends motor cars 
so I develop eyes of flaming stars 
that help me analyze essential waves 
building empires from blind prophets in caves 
who open singing doors of Nevermore 
that shimmer with dreams on the timeless shore. 

Moon crow of Arthur haunts garden of fruit 
where Melusine plays the dragon-bone flute 
enchanting eyes of Cetus with sad tune 
who wants to grant each person their boon 
hidden by singing doors of Nevermore 
when grape vines spiral from psychotic spore. 

Weird secret code that Merlin diagrams 
revives cult of Serapis herding rams, 
so I invent religion of Ishtar 
while driving to work each dawn in my car, 
which opens singing doors of Nevermore 
to temple of truth inside the bookstore. 

I take mask from the ancient gallery 
that matches Jester Bard of Fillory 
to work as Custodian of the Wellspring 
from which springs spirit of my magic ring 
which unlocks singing doors of Nevermore 
so I rule Earth as honest Manticore.
